History, reputation and uses

Compomotive is a British company founded in 1973 that has remained family-run, with its head office and production based in Telford, in the English Midlands. From the outset, the brand positioned itself in the racing and high-performance niche rather than in high-volume OEM fitment, supplying motorsport teams in more than sixty countries. Its heritage is closely tied to rallying: its wheels equipped legendary Group B and World Rally Championship cars, and the brand has been associated with leading drivers such as Petter Solberg, the 2003 World Rally Champion and two-time World Rallycross Champion. This competition lineage has made Compomotive a sought-after accessory for modified road cars. On the manufacturing side, Compomotive wheels are produced from a specially heat-treated and age-hardened primary aluminum alloy, with reinforced rim flanges to withstand the severe demands of the track and rally stage. The brand claims an integrated in-house process, the Compomotive Technology System (CTS), which covers computer-aided design (CAD/CAM), aluminum selection, mold manufacturing, low-pressure casting, and flow-forming technology to optimize the strength-to-weight ratio. Historically, Compomotive also produced modular multi-piece split-rim wheels, such as the CXN and FH, which are now highly prized by collectors and the vintage scene. Over the years, the range evolved from a purely competition-driven approach toward a mixed race-and-road offering, retaining FIA-specification designs while remaining usable on road-legal vehicles. The wheels are offered in numerous bolt patterns, offsets, and center bores, often in a universal fitment that requires centering rings matched to the vehicle.

Recommended use: Compomotive primarily targets sport and competition vehicles: classic and modern rallying, short-circuit racing, clubman events, as well as enthusiast-modified road cars. Several sizes are FIA-homologated for most disciplines while remaining suitable for standard road fitments. It is therefore a performance aftermarket brand, not a high-volume OEM supplier. The multi-piece split-rim models (CXN, FH) are well suited to restoration projects and vintage styling. In Quebec, you need to confirm the bolt pattern, offset, center bore (often universal with rings), and brake clearance for the specific vehicle.

Technologies and manufacturing: The wheels are cast in a heat-treated, age-hardened primary aluminum alloy, with reinforced rim flanges for impact and fatigue resistance. Compomotive claims an integrated in-house process, the Compomotive Technology System (CTS), combining CAD/CAM design, aluminum selection, mold manufacturing, low-pressure casting, and flow-forming to reduce weight while maintaining stiffness. The brand has also produced modular multi-piece split-rim wheels. Some sizes are FIA-homologated for motorsport. In Quebec, corrosion from road salt and calcium makes the finish (paint, sealant) critical; a universal center bore requires centering rings and consideration of the TPMS.

Key takeaways

  • Designs rallye iconiques.
  • Très appréciée sur Ford, rallye historique et voitures de course.

AT coulée performance

The AT belongs to Compomotive's performance and competition wheel range, made from the brand's heat-treated and age-hardened aluminum alloy with the characteristic reinforced rim lip. Like the entire motorsport lineup, it comes in a variety of diameters, widths, and offsets suited to sports cars and road builds, in the racing spirit that has built the brand's reputation. It is aimed at enthusiasts looking for a rugged wheel with a competition identity. In Quebec, as with the other models, you should confirm the precise fitment (bolt pattern, offset, center bore which is often universal with rings, brake clearance, TPMS) for your vehicle, and take care of the finish to resist corrosion from winter salt and calcium.

CXN coulée performance

The CXN is a historic modular multi-piece (three-piece, split rim) wheel from Compomotive, conceived as a lighter answer to the high-end demountable wheels of the era. Its bolted multi-element construction allows you to combine various lip widths and offsets, and offers the advantage of being able to repair or refinish the outer rim. Highly sought after today on the vintage and stance scene, the CXN is found mainly used, in classic 15 to 16 inch diameters and various bolt patterns (4x100, 4x108, etc.). Since Compomotive no longer produces multi-piece wheels, the model has become rare. In Quebec, buying one requires checking the bolt pattern, offset, bore, and the condition of the bolted components; winter salt calls for particular attention to the sealing and corrosion of the assemblies.

FH flow formed

The FH is a Compomotive wheel from the heritage lineup, often found in multi-piece split-rim construction, designed for classic performance vehicles. Its mesh-style center evokes the Compomotive designs of the 1980s and lends itself well to restoration projects and the vintage look. Historically available in diameters such as 14, 15, and 16 inches and various bolt patterns (for example 4x100), the split-rim version allows width and offset to be adjusted. Since Compomotive no longer manufactures multi-piece wheels, the FH is found mainly used and remains prized. In Quebec, you need to confirm the bolt pattern, offset, center bore (often universal with rings), and brake clearance; winter salt makes attention to the sealing and corrosion of the bolted assemblies essential.

ML forgée

The ML is described by retailers as a classic competition wheel, offered in a 15 inch diameter with a 4-hole fitment and multiple offset variants. Its sizes are FIA homologated for most disciplines, from classic and modern rally to short circuit racing and clubman events, while remaining suitable for standard road use. Available in silver and gold finishes, it suits vehicles such as VW, Mazda, or Opel, with a universal 73 mm center bore that requires centering rings. The ML targets small sports car builds and historic rally cars. In Quebec, it's a good candidate for a small-format sports vehicle; you need to confirm the exact fitment (bolt pattern, offset, rings, brakes) and protect the finish against winter corrosion.

MO5 forgée

The MO5 is a Compomotive five-spoke performance wheel, with a flat, clean design that became emblematic of the rally world. Built from the brand's heat-treated aluminum alloy with a reinforced rim lip, it was notably associated with Group B cars such as the Audi Quattro, which forged its reputation. It comes in several diameters (16 and 17 inches in particular) and offsets, in silver or other finishes, for both racing and street use. Its retro-competition style makes it a sought-after choice for builds of classic and modern sports cars. In Quebec, the MO5 suits a prepared sport vehicle; you will need to confirm the bolt pattern, offset, bore (often universal with rings), and brake clearance, and take care of the finish against winter corrosion from salt.

TH2 flow formed

The TH2 is one of Compomotive's most iconic wheel designs, famous for being fitted to the Lancia Delta Integrale, a rally car that won numerous World Championship titles. It stands out with its multi-spoke mesh pattern that gives it a strong sporty character, often offered in its emblematic white finish. Built from the brand's heat-treated alloy with a reinforced rim lip, it has inspired many imitations without ever being matched in its reputation for quality and strength. The TH2 is aimed at historic rally enthusiasts and prepared road cars looking for an authentic competition look. In Quebec, you need to confirm the bolt pattern, offset, center bore, and brake clearance to suit your vehicle; its finish deserves careful protection against winter salt and calcium.

Technical

What to confirm for a compatible wheel

fitment

Point technique à valider selon le véhicule, l'usage, la dimension et les recommandations du fabricant.

entraxe

Le bolt pattern doit correspondre exactement au moyeu du véhicule. Une approximation rend la roue incompatible.

offset

Le déport détermine la position de la roue vers l'intérieur ou l'extérieur et influence le dégagement des ailes et des freins.

alésage central

Le center bore doit être compatible avec le moyeu ou corrigé avec des bagues de centrage adaptées.

indice de charge

La jante doit supporter la charge du véhicule, surtout pour VUS, camionnettes, remorques et usages commerciaux.

TPMS

Point technique à valider selon le véhicule, l'usage, la dimension et les recommandations du fabricant.
